This Snowy Scenes Snowman Happy Christmas Card is an easy one to make just with designer paper and a couple of other things. You could make a few multiples of this card but since it uses the snowglobe design on the designer paper you would be limited to how many you could make. But you still could use the design and substitute some other designer paper or stamped image for the focal point.
I used the village pattern of designer paper for the background The snowman is one of the snowglobes on the designer paper that I cut out and layered on a piece of Garden Green cardstock, cut out with the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I wanted the card to look like the snowman is part of the village.
The greeting at the bottom of the snowglobe is one of the ephemera pieces in the Joyful Sayings Ephemera Pack. (Be sure you order English, not French!). I popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The snowflake sticker in the top corner of the snowglobe is on the Sticker Sheet. I tied a separate bow with the Silver & White 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot. If you wanted to, you could add some sequins or tiny snowflakes or other sparkly bling around the snowman for some sparkle.
It’s hard to believe it is getting really close to Christmas now with Thanksgiving being a little later this year! Time to work on those card, but enjoy it while you are working!
I think this Frames & Flowers Grateful For You Card is one of those cards that you could use for a Thanksgiving card, or any time, really. The card has fallish colors, somewhat colored leaves, and an appropriate greeting for the season of gratitude and thanksgiving.
The card base is Garden Green with a layer of Pumpkin Pie cardstock to bring out the orange colors in the leaves and to make the whole card look like it is made for fall. The layer on top of the Pumpkin Pie is a frame in the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper. The center just punched out of the frame. I chose to put a small piece of Basic White cardstock behind the frame. Then I chose a flower in the ephemera pieces that would look good in the cneter of that open frame. It is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting is in the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set. I think it can go for a regular card or this Thanksgiving card. It is stamped in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock. I cut it out with one of the Nested Essentials Dies. I then cut out another piece the same size in Garden Green and cut it in half horizontally and adhered the two pieces to the top and bottom of the stamped greeting. I adhered it flat to the card in case I wanted to put a gem that would stick up very much on the ends of the greeting.
For the embellishment, I chose some sequins in the Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins. These sequins come in Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo, and Pumpkin Pie colors. I used two Pumpkin Pie Sequins on the ends of the greeting and three Lemon Lime Twist sequins up by the flower.
When you want to make a card and have fun, use this Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper or any of the ephemera packs that Stampin’ Up! now sells! The Frames & Flowers should be back in stock next week.
Here’s a nice Christmas card for a special person. You probably wouldn’t want to mass produce this one, but sometimes we need special cards for certain people. This Season of Green & Gold Bells Christmas Card would fit the bill!
This card has a Garden Green cardstock base. Everything else except the greeting comes from the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is beyond beautiful with its variety of foliage and greenery with gold foil accents and the beautiful gold foil bells. Certain images on the paper can be diecut with the Golden Greenery Dies. For this card, the foliage across the top of the card was diecut directly from the paper. The single bells can be diecut or you can just fussy-cut them with Paper Snips scissors. Sometimes that is just as quick!
After I diecut the greenery pieces I layered them across the top. The one big piece on the left is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the others are adhered flat on the card. The background paper with the gold foil designs make for a neutral background for the foliage and bells.
The bells were placed along the greenery. I think I intended to pop up just the middle bells on Dimensionals, but the first bell on the left had to be popped up at the bottom because it layered on top of the already popped up evergreen greenery. I put a little Multipurpose Liquid Glue under the top of the bell and to keep it even I put a Dimensional at the bottom. The third bell is glued down flat on the card. I added bows tied with the Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4″ Satin Ribbon to the first and third bells since the double bells already had a green printed bow at the top. This narrow ribbon was perfect to go with the bells with its gold edge.
The greeting is from the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set. This greeting seemed to fit the space and was a nice saying. I stamped it with Versamark Ink on Very Vanilla cardstock after rubbing my little anti-static bag across the paper. Then I used Gold Embossing Powder, which you can find in the Metallics Wow Embossing Powder which also has Copper and Silver Embossing Powder. You also need the Heat Tool to melt the embossing powder. When needed, I keep a small paint brush to brush off any stray embossing granules before I use the Heat Tool. Heat embossing is probably one of the most amazing things to do with papercrafting, if you haven’t tried it yet. Then the greeting was diecut with the large banner in the Stylish Shapes Dies. This diecut was going to fit the greeting and the space on my card the best in spite of trying some other die shapes. To help it stand out, I also diecut the same banner out of Gold Foil, cut it in half horizontally, and glued the halves to the top and bottom of the greeting just to give that little bit of gold edge. Then the whole thing was adhered flat to the card. It could have been popped up also.
For a finishing touch, I added some of the Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries around in the greenery. As I write this, it says “Low Inventory” so if you want to order some, you better do it very soon!
As you can see, this card takes a little more work and time, but I think the designer paper makes it easy to make an elegant card. On the inside I added a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock and since I had an extra small piece of greenery and one more cut-out bell, I adhered those to the top corner of the inside. Something on the inside of the card is always a nice surprise for the recipient!
It’s time to shop for sure for your holiday cardmaking supplies if you haven’t already. We all know how fast Christmas sneaks up on us! But have fun making some cards to send no matter how busy the season gets!
If you are serving Thanksgiving dinner at your house, you might want to make place cards so people know where to sit or just for a table decoration. When I was a little girl, I always liked to make place cards! Sometimes I made them at my grandma’s house when it was just my family and grandparents. I just folded some paper in half and stuck on a sticker or drew a little picture. Little did I know that years later I would have all kinds of paper, ink, and stamps and a multitude of tools and accessories to make place cards!
Here are three ideas for making place cards.
This little pumpkin is made with punched hearts. I used the heart in the retired Heart Punch Pack that had this regular heart punch and one with a scalloped heart punch. You may have other heart punches or heart dies you can use. If you have the retired Apple Builder Punch that would work also. Just cut or punch out several hearts and score them down the middle to make folding them in half easier. You can cut out a little stem by hand if you like.
Fold and crease each heart in half. Apply glue to the top of the first folded heart and adhere another folded heart to it, making sure it lines up pretty well on all sides until you have all the hearts stacked up and glued together. Use as many or few hearts as you like. Before making it into a pumpkin, use a sturdy scissors and cut off the bottom point of the stack of heart to make a straight line for the base of the pumpkin. You only need to take off a little bit. Die cut or cut out by hand a leaf and write a name of a guest for the place card. Then open up the stacked hearts. before you glue them together, adhere the stem if you cut one and the leaf to hold them. Glue the hearts together so you have a standing pumpkin! If you want to get fancy, maybe you have a stamp set with a pumpkin and can stamp that first and fussy cut or diecut, whatever you have, or shade the edges of the hearts.
Here’s the standard kind of place card, the kind I used to make for our family dinners. You can make it any size you want. Mine is a 4 1/2″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, scored in half at 2 1/4″. I stamped the small pumpkins from the Playful Ghosts Stamp Set, colored them with Stampin’ Blends markers, then cut out by hand. I also diecut some foliage from the Textured Floral Dies in both Lemon Lime Twist and Garden Green cardstock. If you have the Bough Punch you can use that. I cut the diecut foliage apart because I only needed little pieces to glue to the place card behind the pumpkin. I put just a tiny bit of glue behind the pumpkin to hold it in place while I glued down the foliage where I wanted it and then added a bit more glue under the sides of the pumpkins. An easier way, if you have the stamps that fit, would be to stamp a pumpkin, hold a mask over it, then stamp foliage on each side. Remove the mask that protected the pumpkin and yours should look like mine except stamped! Or simply stamp and color a pumpkin in the corner of the card.
This kind of place card is actually a little party favor, too! I simply covered a small chocolate bar with a piece of designer paper and added a name on top. I used a piece of the green plaid paper in the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper. You could just use cardstock as well. I used a piece that was about 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″. It all depends on your candy bar, of course. For this card, I diecut a piece from the Everyday Details Dies on which to glue on the pumpkins and write the name. On the other candy bar in the top photo, I used a diecut from the Unbounded Love Dies in Very Vanilla and used a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend just to outline the edges of the diecut, plus added two Gold Textured Dots. There are no bounds to what you can do with these!
These are just some ideas to get you started! Once you begin, you will likely come up with more and better ideas! Just have fun!
***REMINDER: TODAY, Nov. 15, is the LAST DAY for the Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Sale!
This Textured Floral Book Fold Thanksgiving Card is a Thanksgiving card you can make without turkeys, pumpkins, or Pilgrims. Just use some fall colors of flowers and paper and add an appropriate greeting.
This card is made in the Book Fold design. That means there is an extra score line on the front of the card which makes it look like a book when you open the card. Cut the paper at 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score at 4 1/4″ and at 5 1/2″. Crease and fold the score lines. Decide how you want to do the book fold. You can apply adhesive in that small area in between the fold and the score line on the front of the card. Or, if you don’t want to use adhesive, you could punch two holes in that side by the fold and tie ribbon through there to have a bow on the side of the card.
This card has a card base of Mossy Meadow cardstock. For designer paper, I used the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper for layers on the card front. For the right side of the card, cut the designer series paper at 4″ x 4″. For the little side piece, cut the designer paper at 1″ x 4″.
For the main image of the card, I used a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock cut at 3″ x 3″ layered on a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock cut at 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″. The flowers are stamped from the Textured Floral Stamp Set. One large flower is stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink, the other in Crushed Curry ink with a little Pumpkin Pie ink sponged on with Sponge Daubers. The little flower is stamped with Crushed Curry ink. The leaves are stamped in Old Olive ink and Garden Green ink. The flowers and leaves are diecut with the Textured Floral Dies.
The greeting is in the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set and stamped in Garden Green ink. It is diecut with a die in the Countryside Corners Dies. I made it smaller to fit on the card better by running it through the machine a second time after moving the die where I wanted it to end.
Two of the flowers and the greeting are popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some Gold Textured Dots for some sparkle. On the inside of the card I added a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, something lighter to stamp or write a message. Since I had an extra flower and leaf that I didn’t use, I adhered that inside the card for a little decoration.
You can send this card for Thanksgiving or for any other occasion with this beautiful floral stamp set. Try the Book Fold for something a little different.

Here is a whimsical Thanksgiving turkey I came up with while thinking about a new Thanksgiving card. I’ve seen cards with turkeys made in different ways, so I thought maybe I’d use some kind of designer series paper. The first one that popped into my head was the Full of Life 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper, with its watercolor designs and many different colors, including fall colors.
As I looked through all the papers, I came across this one pattern with the triangle designs and I thought this paper could be used for turkey feathers. I cut the design apart so I would have lots of colors to use for turkey tail feathers.
For the turkey body, I looked through the Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and found this brownish design on “the other side” of one of the meadow patterned papers. I used two stitched circle dies in the Stylish Shapes Dies to make the turkey body and head.
To adhere the tail feathers, I applied a lot of Stampin’ Seal adhesive to the back of the largest circle, arranged the triangle pieces how I liked them, and stuck them to the adhesive. To adhere the body and feathers to the card I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue so that I could apply some to the tips of all the feathers and all the rest of the turkey. It is adhered onto another pattern in the Full of Life Designer Paper that has colors of green and orange for a background. The card base is Pecan Pie cardstock.
I adhered the turkey head onto the body and a little heart shape for his waddle, cut from a die in the Friends For Life Dies. The beak is cut from a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock. The eyes are made with a punch I had and I colored in the black pupils with a marker. The hat is made with a 3/4″ x 3/4″ square of Basic Black and a little strip for the brim, plus a Daffodil Delight hat band. The turkey legs are two ends of a Real Red banner diecut just because I had it nearby.
The greeting is in the Choose Happy Stamp Set! I was surprised to find the word Thanksgiving in there but I searched “Happy Thanksgiving” in the Stampin’ Up! online store and the Choose Happy Stamp Set came up! I wasn’t sure if I would have a banner going across the turkey, but I decided to cut the stamped words to be separate and I liked that look. For a final touch, I added some Gold Textured Dots.
This is just one idea of how to make a Thanksgiving turkey for a card! You can play around with what supplies you have and make your own version!

Make this Reindeer Days Flying Reindeer Christmas Card easily for the holidays. This patterned paper looks so fun with all the little reindeer but I wasn’t quite sure what to make with it at first. Deciding to showcase one reindeer up close as the focal point of the card seemed to work well with the paper! It is so much fun to play and see what you come up with.
This card has a Real Red card base. The reindeer paper is in the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper. I am loving this paper for Christmas cards and projects. From another sheet, I cut out this one larger reindeer with my Paper Snips scissors. The background color of the designer paper is Pool Party, but using Pool Party cardstock was too much of a contrast so I added some light Pool Party color to the diecut Basic White circle. I used a small Blending Brush and lightly added some Pool Party ink to the circle. Then it was layered on a Real Red diecut circle. These are in the Stylish Shapes Dies. The circles are popped up with lots of Stampin’ Dimensionals which also help hold down the ribbon. The reindeer is just adhered flat on the circle with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To add a little embellishment, I added some Real Red & Gold 3/8″ Dotted Ribbon to the back of the circles. We had this ribbon last year but it is a carry-over and still available in the Online Store. Around the reindeer I added some White Loose Snowflakes (mine are retired but look the same). Just put the tiniest dot of glue you can manage or use a toothpick to pick up glue from a puddle on some scrap paper. I used my Take Your Pick Tool to pick up the tiny snowflakes and glue them onto the card.
The greeting is a sticker in the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper & Stickers package. You can buy the designer paper separately, but if you would like the extra stickers get Item #166612. The stickers are fun and easy to use if you have one that works with your project.
Have fun with the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper and get it while it is available!

This A Sentimental Christmas Reindeer Card turned out entirely differently than I ever could have planned! Sometimes that happens! In this case, it was finding a scrap diecut piece in my cardstock package in the right color that jumped out at me as a possible card element.v
For the first thing, in looking through the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series PaperI was surprised to see Christmas paper in brown! Snowflakes on Pecan Pie! Who would have thought?! Maybe it goes along with the gingerbread trend last Christmas and this year also, but to me it doesn’t look exactly like that style. I saw that brown paper as a challenge and decided to see what I could come up with. I looked around online for ideas just for a short time but the answer I found was this Pecan Pie cardstock diecut in this arch shape in the Garden Meadow Dies in the Online Exclusives.
The card base is Pecan Pie cardstock with a layer of Basic White to make the designer paper stand out a little more. The white layer goes well to bring out the white snowflakes. The opposite side of the brown snowflake paper is this vintage looking reindeer print. I really liked how that looked with the snowflake paper, so it was diecut with a circle in the Stylish Shapes dies. I planned to layer it on a larger circle in Real Red, Shaded Spruce, or Pecan Pie. But when I found the arched diecut piece and tried the reindeer diecut circle, it fit perfectly in that space under the arch. Then there was just enough space underneath for a greeting.
The greeting is stamped in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White cardstock with a stamp in the Peaceful Season Stamp Set. This 2 1/2″ x 1″ piece fits perfectly underneath the reindeer circle.
Since the greeting sounded “incomplete” on the front of the card, I went ahead and stamped “the rest of the greeting” on the inside. I added a Basic White layer over the Pecan Pie card and stamped a second greeting in Pecan Pie ink to go with what is stamped on the front of the card. Then I also added two 1/2″ strips of designer paper along the sides.
You could also add a small red bow underneath the reindeer circle, and you could also add some gems for sparkle. I love this Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Mini Catalog. If you didn’t notice, check out page 5 where the paper is shown to see that Stampin’ Up! is donating $3 for every package of this paper sold to worthy children’s causes. I love the vintage look of this paper.
One new product coming soon on Tuesday, November 5th at Stampin’ Up! will be this Color Coach color wheel. During a previous Stampin’ Up! event, Demonstrators who attended were given a color wheel very much like this one. It turned out to be SO popular, that Stampin’ Up! decided to make them to sell to everyone. I think this one does not include the In Colors which the original one did. Years ago we had a color wheel so it will be nice to have one again with current colors.
The other side of the wheel explains how to use the color wheel to choose colors when designing cards and projects. We have Monochromatic Colors, Complementary Colors, Triadic Colors, and Analogous Colors. Then we have Neutrals that work with almost any color combination.
I think these wheels “could” go fast so if you would like to have one, I would plan on ordering one on the first day. But I could be wrong. If you do order one, notice that the “brad” that goes in the center of the Color Coach is enclosed in the plastic bag the wheel is shipped in. You could easily miss it or at first wonder what is in the bag.
If you need help in figuring out what colors would look good together or would like some new ideas for color combinations in your projects, then this Color Coach wheel will be very helpful to you!
This Spooky Ghosts Halloween Card winds up the Halloween season here on my blog! Are you taking kids out for trick-or-treating tonight or are you staying home and handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters? I love being home and giving out candy, especially to the itty bitty trick-or-treaters. We used to have a LOT of kids come to our house after the little neighborhood carnival down the street years ago, but now we have half or less that we used to have as our neighborhood has gotten older.
This card has a Pumpkin Pie cardstock card base with a layer of the orange dotted patterned paper in the Halloween Spells Designer Series Paper. I cut a strip of the striped pattern in the package to make sort of a wall on the left side of the card. And at the bottom, I cut out some of the Potions & Spells books, also printed in the Halloween Spells DSP.
Then came my favorite part….making ghosts! I learned this from a Demonstrator group meeting I attended with my friend who would become my upline when I signed up. I thought it was so creative! Use a heart punch, heart die, or simply cut out a heart by hand. Then cut it in half! You have two ghosts! Of course, with the flat edge, you have to put them so they are peeking out from somewhere. I put some faces on mine with a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. For the third ghost, I just cut off part of the bottom of the heart so it looks like just his head is poking out from behind the stack of books! The little sentiments are stickers from the Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. They fit in there perfectly.
I’m sorry that Halloween will be over after today. I think the decorations I have for the house, cards, and Halloween things I can make are so much fun. The Halloween colors are great, too, to work with! But now it’s on to the next holiday!
Here are two fun and easy Halloween Triangle Treat Boxes. I have to admit, I didn’t put too much thought into them, just using up some scraps I had around, but I think they still turned out kind of cute! A couple of trick-or-treaters on Halloween night might get a kick out of them!
I always like making these triangle treat boxes for many different occasions! They are easy and can be made almost any size you need. Just decorate, put treats or a small gift inside and tie with a ribbon at the top. I have made lots of them! Here is a similar Halloween one made with a skeleton and designer series paper.
Both of these triangle treat boxes are made with Granny Apple Green cardstock. Each piece is cut at 4″ x 8″. Then it is scored at 4″ in the middle of the 8″ length. Measure the midpoint at each end, which would be at 2″. Put a light pencil mark at each end. Then score diagonally from the 2″ point to the middle of the strip at 4″ Do this four times, two sides on each end.
Here is a diagram:
This is how you score on a diagonal using the Paper Trimmer:
After you get the box all scored, crease on all the score lines and see how it will come together. Punch holes in the two flaps on each side so you can put a ribbon through after you add the treat inside. I used my old Crop-a- Dile but you can use any hole punch. Just so you can get the ribbon through.
For the box on the right, I added a piece of designer paper to the top from the Halloween Spells Designer Series Paper first. I had an extra stamped gray cat from the Potions & Spells Stamp Set which was diecut with the dies of the same name. I added some bubbles to this box also and a greeting that was already stamped from the stamp set. Sometimes it is handy having those scraps around and it’s great to use them up!
Both boxes are tied with some Pretty Peacock retired ribbon that just happened to be nearby. You could chose something that matched better than this one, but wonky is okay for Halloween!
Keep these triangle treat boxes in mind because they are fun and easy to make and don’t usually take much time. They can be dressed up for any occasion!
